What owners wrote
On sunday, september 6, 2009, my mother was driving my 2006 toyota avalon when she was involved in a crash due to an acceleration problem with the vehicle. She was also involved in a crash in my garage when the floor mat got stuck on the accelerator and cause her to run into the wall of the garage. I also have experienced several instances of acceleration after taking my foot off the gas pedal when attempting to brake which caused me to have to slam on the brakes to stop the vehicle.
My airbag light is on for no reason whatsoever. It was supposed to be taken care of in a previous recall I believe but with this update on other vehicles effected I 100 percent sure my 06 avalon xls and maybe others are having airbag issues. The seats (leather) have been effected by the seat warmers over heating
